Compare 60CSx and Etrex Vista HCx??

        I've studied Garmin's pages for the GPSMAP 60CSx and the etrex
Vista HCx, and I'm still hesitating.

        I want a newer one than the original etrwx vista and the rino 120
that I have, with color display and native USB connections, for running
MapSource (Chiefly TopoUS2008) in order to map my hunting grounds.

        At my age, I'm all too aware that, geologists to the contrary
notwithstanding, these old mountains (in Western VA -- not WV, but close)
get taller and steeper every year. So I don't hunt deer much any more. In
fact, I stick mostly to squirrels.

        That means I hunt smaller areas than most, and probably move
relatively often for anyone this far east; I sit at the base of a tree
for half an hour to an hour, still-hunt for fifty to a hundred yards, and
repeat.

        So I want all the accurate detail I can get.

        Does actual experience, in the field and at the PC, suggest
anything not obvious from the Garmin pages?

I'll second that nomination!

And before you spend too much money on Garmin's topo mapping, check out
the free mapping for your area from here:

I found much better maps for my area and they were free!
